Lost the directions &amp; need to reprogram code as I also forgot that as well (not an often used door). Can anyone please share how to add/change code?

Here is the link to the directions below. It shows how to reprogram the lock. However, there is a warning that you must know the specific original factory code for your lock as it will reset to that code. This was located on the lock when new. It is not shown in the directions and according to the directions cannot be recovered by customer service. It warns not to reset unless you know that factory code. I hope this helps, although may not it you don't know the factory code for your lock. http://consumer.schlage.com/project%20documents/23780042%20fe%20and%20be-series%20user%20guide-a_web.pdf

Haven't you all just verified for crooks how to reset the code and therefore have made any security the lock claims invalid? Am I missing something?

I'm not sure what the problem is. The lock automatically resets itself after you open it using the code. If you have set the lock to 'unlocked' using the knob/lever on the inside of the door, just turning it to the 'lock' position sets it to 'locked'. You can hear the lock setting. There is no need to re-enter the code. Or have i entirely misunderstood the problem? I have two of these style locks and never have to re-enter the code.

Needs to be reprogrammed. Contact Fortres and they can walk you through it..

I can be programed in. Should be in the instructions. My lock last three months until it went into the trash. Be aware, if the electronic coded function fails the key will not work either.

I read somewhere here that often when you put the new code in you haven't 'cleared' or erased the default code; you've just added to it. So you can try the default code plus the new code you entered and that may open it again. Then follow the directions very carefully for your own combination.

You have to open up the cover and program it to match your existing gate code. They have little up and down switches between 0 & 9.

take out the batteries and press the #4, put the batteries back in and re-program. hope that helps! Write your code down in a safe place with these instructions, now all you will have to do is remember where you put this info and your new code! lol good luck! I like the persons answer who said she wrote the code on the back. I scanned my instruction into my computer but cannot figure out how to attach them for you.

Get a locksmith. But you can find info on the internet on how to program it

Nope...either leave door open, or key in the code. Just like a hotel door (Kind of a pain at first, but you get used to it fast, plus it is better than keys.

Best bet would be to Google the door and remote numbers and see what numbers come up. I've replaced at least two remotes through Amazon, one keypad and all of them when I held the learn button on the opener within 5 sec they were programmed.

Just switch it from your old key if you have it. I did and it worked perfect. Take the buttons as well. If not you would probably have to get a new one through the dealer if its lost.

on the unit there is a button that says program. Push it then push the button on the hand held unit that you would normally push to open the door. Hold it for a few seconds. Then push it again to open or close the door. It should be working then.

the new one I bought was programmed by a special machine at my local Meineke. I do believe it does need to be reprogrammed by someone.

I could not get it to program, because the unlock button did work on the one I was replacing and you need that to program it. My husband ended up taking parts from the new one to make my old one work. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

You have to make a scene in which the door sensor is controller of the key on the keypad link. I do all my programing via ISY994i but I'm sure that you can do that without the controller. Also you need to reverse the sensor.
